Operating procedures.

(a) The parts of the manual containing operating procedures must
have information concerning any normal and emergency procedures, and
other information necessary for safe
operation, including the applicable procedures, such as those involving min-

imum speeds, to be followed if an engine fails.
(b) For multiengine rotorcraft, information identifying each operating condition in which the fuel system independence prescribed in Section 29.953 is necessary for safety must be furnished, together with instructions for placing
the fuel system in a configuration used
to show compliance with that section.
(c) For helicopters for which a VNE
(power-off)
is
established
under
Section 29.1505(c), information must be furnished to explain the VNE (power-off)
and the procedures for reducing airspeed to not more than the VNE (poweroff) following failure of all engines.
(d) For each rotorcraft showing compliance with Section 29.1353 (c)(6)(ii) or
(c)(6)(iii), the operating procedures for
disconnecting the battery from its
charging source must be furnished.
(e) If the unusable fuel supply in any
tank exceeds 5 percent of the tank capacity, or 1 gallon, whichever is greater, information must be furnished
which indicates that when the fuel
quantity indicator reads  - zero -  in
level flight, any fuel remaining in the
fuel tank cannot be used safely in
flight.
(f) Information on the total quantity
of usable fuel for each fuel tank must
be furnished.
(g) For Category B rotorcraft, the
airspeeds and corresponding rotor
speeds for minimum rate of descent
and best glide angle as prescribed in
Section 29.71 must be provided.
